Yeah mate the more the merrier!!!

Looks good cause the missus is crazy bout scuba diving so everyones happy.

Hi Brad,

I went to Boracay about 5 years ago.
The gear was excellent and it was windy every morning.
The lagoon is great for flat water blasting and freestyle.

They hold the Asian championships there and aparently a lot of the gear stays behind.

There are a number of places that hire gear on Boracay. I used the NP test centre. All current year NP rigs and JP boards. I hadnt pre-arranged hire - just rocked up when we got to the island.

Prices were excellent as well.

Great place for diving also - wind dies of in the arvo so you can do a combined sail and dive holiday no problem.

For accomodation i stayed on the western side of the island. It means you have to cross the island to sail (less than 1 k walk) but youll be where all the restaurants and non-sailing activities happen.

if you want any other info just ask.

Great destination - youll love it.

yeah it was strange that it is windy in the morning, but that was the norm. i was there for 10 days and had wind everyday.

as for surf - nope. sometimes there is chop imitating surf outside the lagoon but thats it, so if you are looking for a wave sailing location then Boracay may not be for you.

ohh and take booties - the urchins!!

apres sail was cool.
plenty of beach side bars with great priced drinks.heaps of options for dining also.

huge tip - take your gf with you unless your trying to meet a local or are into lady boys.

Can anyone answer these ?????

Whats the best time of year for favourable wind at Bulabog Beach?

Can you recommend any decent accomodation away from the nightlife but close enough to some bars for a few quiet beers after a long day sailing/kiting?


Whats the price for hire gear or can you give me some names of places to research?

Cheers,
EB
